ADD

Posted in [Ramblings]

Been missing out the actions online for a few days but too bad I’m not totally back yet. The streamyx guy has not come to fix my stuff. Hopefully he will not come tomorrow as I have to go out. But if he don’t come tomorrow, I won’t get to online. sigh… Life is always filled with dilemma. I’m supposed to present my 7th Project in my Toastmaster meeting but I didn’t again. Which is to say I have to do 2 speeches in the next meeting which is in 2 weeks time.

I think i’m having the ADD ( Attention Deficit Disorder). Wondering how am I going to cope with it to survive my Uni life… any pro out there that could provide me the help I needed? Going off as I’m in a bad mood swings… Life sucks when everything should be done is not done…

Streamyx Suckx

Posted in [Ramblings]

I’ll be losing my Streamyx broadband connection for the next few days as they finally realize if they can’t give me an upgrade, it’s better for me to end my current subscription and re-apply a new subscription which is the idea I suggested to them few months back. Since from what they say it’s easier for them to provide those new user with 1mbps connection rather than upgrade. Been paying for 5 months or more for the service I’m not getting. 5xRM22 = RM110. They should refund my RM110 for the extra payment. TM new branding, really sucks. What’s the use changing the brand if you can’t provide the service you pledged?

Truth is, I think it’s total nonsense, what do you mean by it’s difficult to upgrade than providing the new user with 1Mbps connection? If it’s so difficult, why don’t you suggest all your user to stop their subscription and re-apply? Did anyone of you checked whether you get the upgrade promised? or else, you have been paying for the service you are not getting. Still, reapply a new account and stop the current one is really double work, think of the paperwork involved. Why don’t you just upgrade it, I don’t think it’s really that difficult right? Some of my friend said their problem are solved in just a phonecall. Is this all really necessary?

I emailed and after 7 emails, they said my problem is in the midst of retifying. Giving me tons of lame reason saying that my modem Aztech DSL 350E doesn’t support 1Mbps connection where hell ya my modem does support it. And if I happened to be wrong, then you should change me another modem since this is the modem you given me. How can you say the modem you given me doesn’t support the service you promised to give? Man, this is making my blood rages.

Oh, btw, after saying my problem is in the midst of rectifying one month ago, my problem is not solved at all until this very moment. And I’m really sick and tired of email them as they would ask me to call in their so called support line instead. After I called, they would told me that “We will lodge a report” instead of “We will get it fix”. Since so many report has been lodged, why on earth am I still at the 512kbps connection. My download even sucks more after the last month down incident. FUCK TM! Don’t talk to me as if I’m in the wrong for blaming you for not giving me the service I pay for. I’ve called them from January till April until I’m sick of telling them the same thing over and over again. Since calling in is more effective, where on earth is my upgrade??? Giving them the last chance to solve it or else, something really has to be done.

Going down to Penang to get my Leo Proficiency Award. The function is held at Cititel Hotel Penang at around 1 afternoon tomorrow. Have to be in my formal uniform again. Tomorrow’s award is going to cost me my one day pay as I’m taking leave from my work. Anyway, hope I get to enjoy my trip to Penang.

Shopping Frenzy

Posted in [Ramblings]

My my, today was Jcard day for Jaya Jusco and you won’t believe the madness of Ipohan. Jcard day started at as early as 8 am, and when we arrived at around 8.30am, you would thought that today is a non workin day as it was packed with people as if it’s a weekend. You couldn’t even find a parking space anymore downstairs. It’s really total madness, with aunties flocking around those 50% - 70% discount off items ranging from bags to t shirts and buy as if it’s free. Bras are the most sought after item I supposed, especially those RM10 audrey and lilian bras. You can see womens from young till old, grab on one bra after another and place them over the shoulder to show off their victories that they managed to hunt down. Everywhere is people, people and people. Not forgetting those shopping carts, some even pushed their shopping carts to open up the way for them to get in without bothering about others. My mum almost got knocked down by one of them but luckily the water bottle in her handbag somehow shielded her but poor bottle… You can imagine how crazy everyone is in this shopping frenzy.

My mum wouldn’t believe me at first when I told her that we shouldn’t be late, but after she seen it with her own eyes, I’m sure she’s shocked. Anyway, we bought quite a few items where mostly are stuff that I needed in my uni. I got the sports duffle I wanted few weeks back. Though it’s a different one from the one I wanted but it’s such a bargain. Compare 10% off with 50% off. Of course the latter would be better. More so it’s quite similar to the one I wanted. Got myself a Nike backpack too for schooling purpose. others included are bedsheets, goggles and swimcap, t shirts, shorts and etc. It’s nice having to get those stuff I wanted. I love my new speedo goggles. My old goggles died so many years back, it’s time to get a new goggle.

Can’t believe just one shopping morning, Bo actually lost American Idol.. Anyway, no matter what, Bo ROCKS! Not that Carrie Underwood isn’t good, just that Bo is better…

Anyway, seems like my parents wanted to go back to Jusco again since it’s close 11pm today. Dinner time, I’m gonna stay home cause enough of shopping to me.

My Blog is Boring

Posted in [Ramblings]

I’ve got my new glasses. It makes me looked more mature. My friends said it fits me, wondering whether is that true or not. Anyway, the glasses has no power, just a simple 100% UV lens for me to wear either when I’m using the computer, watching the tv or driving at night. And it cost RM 180. To me it’s kinda expensive but I needed it as it has been torturous for me to sit in front of the computer lately.

I think I’ve got bored out of blogging. Someone commented that my blog is boring and I do think so too. Not too sure what shall I blog next and it will never be as interesting of the marriage between Sia and Xue. haha… Must check it out…

My Blog is BORING!

Glasses

Posted in [Ramblings]

Made a pair of glasses today. Not because I’m short sighted or long sighted, but just specially for blocking UV rays and other’s emitted from the computer or tv. Well, it has always been tormenting especially when I go to shopping complex. My eyes would hurt so much that I could hardly see. The lens for my glasses cost rm100 itself plus a RM 80 frame, which is to say, my glasses without any correction actually cost rm180. Not sure whether that’s expensive or cheap as this is the first time I made glasses. Though I’ve been facing the tv and computer for so much, thank god that my eyes are still fine even up till today’s eye’s examination. Friends used to curse me for it. Gona pick it up on Tuesday. Thought I could wear those plastic frame, but somehow those frame make me looked weird and geek @ nerd look alike. At last, I chose a Metal Frame in blue.

Went to see the Star Wars III : Revenge of the Sith. Only today I know the sequence of the movie is actually 4, 5, 6, 1, 2 and 3. I missed all 5 episode in front and I actually went to watch it. Anyway, just to accompany a friend of mine.

Tomorrow is a workin day, so checkin out now…

Indecisive

Posted in [Ramblings]

Been strumming on my guitar for the whole day, but my fingers no longer hurt anymore. I’m now struggling about whether to bring my current guitar to uni or buy a new guitar. Well, my current guitar is given to me by my uncle and it’s actually a 3/4 size guitar. Due to sentimental value reason, I’m not sure whether to buy a cheaper guitar or just bring my current guitar without bothering so much.

Life is full with decisions to make and yes, eevon, I’m indeed indecisive.

Got an unknown call on my handphone. A call from Europe today regarding the USA Green Card Permenant Resident Lottery that I once filled halfway long long time ago. Funny, why Europe? A girl named Nicole who sounded like a guest from my Toastmaster club called me. ( I almost thought is that guest who’s calling me) She called me regarding my unfinished application and whether I would like to finish it or not. She offered me some sort of package for USD 99 for registration for the next consecutive 4 years if I didn’t managed to win the lottery this year. Anyway, I didn’t managed to hear which department or company she’s from and I passed her to talk to my dad as I couldn’t make the decision whether to pay or not to pay through credit card.

Blogtiquette

Posted in [Ramblings]

Just came back from my exercise, it’s good to go for exercise as I won’t be sleeping until 12 pm again. Just got my dad’s call saying that my courier to NUS sending them my matriculation card application form is undelivered as they don’t have NUS’s phone number. Funny thing is, this is not the first time I send courier without phone number. Today is the expiry date for sending the forms in and how great is that…

Anyway, my last post was about me being nominated for Ping of the Year for the post busted hustler. Talking about the post busted hustler which caused a chaos in PPS, there’s this die hard fans of hustler commented pseudonymously leaving me unfriendly comment on my blog, and somehow after some tracing job, I managed to find out who she is.

At first, I don’t really feel like wanting to talk about it, but after reading a post in her blog, seeing that she’s blogging otherwise and somehow since this is being brought up again, I will just post without disclosing who she is as my intention is not to start a war with her. This blogger left me such bad comments on my blog but yet she blogged talkin about how noble blogtiquette she has on her own blog. She said malaysian blogger’s mentality are still at a very disappointing level, yes indeed. She too said don’t be too arrogant with your comments and she plead others to respect bloggers because you are at their site. She said “if you don’t like their blog you should just keep quiet”. Anyway, whatever she said in her blog is obviously to defense hustler. I noticed that she too left some nasty comments at some other’s blog using different name.

Here’s the comment I get from Junie
Junie\'s Comment Quoted from the post Busted Hustler

Here’s 2 quotes from her blog

It is true that not one person will be on the same wavelength as the other. But what happened to blogtiquette? I mean, it’s not wrong that you’re a super straightforward person when commenting but pleaselah do it with manners. Don’t be too arrogant with your comments on other ppl’s blog. Respect them because you’re in their site. If you have something less than nice to say and you’re gonna make it super long, do it at your own space. If you don’t have a space of your own, go make one. If not, make your comments short and do not mock the blogger. If you can’t do either of them…go bang your head to the wall and keep your comments to yourself.

Quoted from Junie’s post

It’s the same here too, if you don’t like my content, you can either choose to NOT visit my site..if you do, you should just be an invisible visitor (meaning, one who reads and just keeps quiet) Just like the example I gave just now, you might still see that person you don’t like (he’s prolly in the same circle of friends), if you do not have anything nice to say, you might as well just shut up?

Quoted from another post by Junie

Just a note to Junie, i’m not trying to start a blog war with you, but next time, please don’t change a name and comment nastily at people’s blog, assuming that people won’t know who you are then later on blog about oh, you care so much about blogtiquette. Aint all this the description of the h word? Anyway, good luck and all the best to you in blogging and your blogtiquette.
